Integration and Interconnect
Loomia Interconnect Use Instructions:
Loomia custom interconnects are designed for easy soldering or alligator clipping in prototyping. Using the interconnect is straightforward:
Use the large pads for alligator clipping or extra easy soldering. Only solder to large pads once to avoid delamination
Place wires and solder through the through holes for a cleaner wire connection. These holes can also be used with headers for direct placement into a breadboard. We also only recommend soldering through these holes once.
Note: Interconnects are reinforced with resin on the back of the through-hole connection points. Therefore, soldering from the top may be necessary for a connection.
Integration Instructions:
Our components are designed for easy integration onto surfaces. To attach our LEL to a surface (textile or plastic) Follow the instructions below:
Using the peel-and-stick backing, gently peel off the brown paper.
With adhesive exposed, apply the sticky component to your surface and ensure there are no bubbles.

Single Flexible FSR - FAQ
-
The Single Flexible FSR is a compact force-sensitive resistor designed to measure applied pressure with an analog output. Its small form factor makes it suitable for applications where space is limited.
-
The sensor measures approximately 22.2 mm × 28.6 mm, making it ideal for compact force-sensing applications.
-
The sensor works by decreasing electrical resistance as pressure increases. This allows it to produce an analog signal that reflects the level of applied force.
-
The sensor can be used on flat or gently curved surfaces and is designed to integrate easily into flexible or soft-surface applications.
-
The sensor supports PSA backing for quick peel-and-stick installation on surfaces such as textiles or plastics. It also includes connection options suitable for soldering or clip-based prototyping.
-
Yes. Sample scripts, Arduino pinout documentation, and integration guidance are available to help evaluate sensor performance and support prototyping.
